DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2× E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz 16GB DDR4 2× 900GB SAS H330

Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two eight-core Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors at 2.4GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and two 900GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller provide a ready-to-run platform for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application servers. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation in small-to-medium data-centre deployments.

Redundant cooling and power in a 2U chassis

Dual 750W hot-swap power supplies share the load, so a single failure does not interrupt service. The 2U form factor directs front-to-rear airflow across the processors, memory and drive cage, keeping component temperatures stable during normal multi-tenant workloads. Acoustic output remains within typical rack-environment limits when the system idles or serves light traffic.

Sustained load behaviour with 32 logical cores

Under continuous compute pressure all 32 logical threads remain active while the H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch bays. Memory bandwidth scales to 2400MT/s per DIMM within the 16GB installed limit, and the four-port 1GbE daughter card handles steady network streams. Expansion headroom includes seven PCIe 3.0 slots and a dedicated PERC slot for additional controllers.
